Microsoft is shipping the Surface RT in UK without prior intimation

Consumers in UK who had pre-ordered the Microsoft Surface RT tablet have now started to receive the same. Some UK based readers have reported that since the debacle of the erroneous message, that seemed to suggest that their order was going to be delayed, they have finally started receiving the product. Microsoft has sent an apology with it too in the form of a £50 promotional code.

What is really promising to see though is that Microsoft has started shipping the tablets even before the month is over This means UK users will receive them in around one week’s time from when their US counterparts received theirs.

Remarks by some readers seem to suggest that they had received no intimation that their Surface RT was sent up until the moment it was delivered. So in case you had ordered the Surface RT, please take note to leave someone behind who can receive the delivery.
